Pralino is a chocolate manufacturer run by founder and head chocolate maker Elias J. Hamaoui, who set out to build a company where quality and unusual flavor pairings come first. Production is based in the industrial city of Mkalles, east of Beirut, and the company keeps a retail presence in Achrafieh. The range is large: more than 300 assorted chocolates in different flavors, shapes and sizes, plus confectionery and chocolate-based treats. A big part of the business is celebrations, with chocolate arrangements for weddings, newborns and baby showers, and corporate gifts that can carry a client's logo. Pralino also sells wholesale and supplies several hundred outlets in more than 20 countries. Its production is certified to the ISO 22000 food safety standard, which matters for buyers ordering in volume.
